and south korean troops and now he is scheduled to speak one-on-one. north korea of course is expected to top the agenda. now before arriving in south korea president trump in a tweet called president moon a fine again the man. and said that the two would figure it all out. mr. trump is working to rally. 7 on monday the president struck a hard line against north korea's nuclear weapon's program and urged japan to do the same thing. president trump said, "the era of strategic patience is over. some say my rhetoric is very strong but look at what has happened with rhetoric for the last 25 years. now we have joining us on the phone for more insight and importance of the president's trip is gordon chang. gordon, mice to have you with us. as we're watching the president's motorcade can you talk about what expect to come from this meeting from president trump and south korea's president moon. >> there are three contentious issues. one is trade. north korea is the second one and the united states and south korea now have 30 different attitudes about this. pres

government and south korean assembly. people in south korea praised for what they've been accomplished in a short amount of time. but you're definitely right. there was also a small portion of the speech that he said, the president, he was ready to offer a path to a much better future for north korea where they could embrace a future of light as opposed to the darkness they live in now. but it was a very muscular speech, very forceful against what north korea is. he talked about otto warmbier, the american student who was tortured and eventually died as a result of his capture

do the south koreans share that view? >> no. ink there is a tremendous amount of belief that north korean will do whatever it says it will do, which is it will fight back. and that's one reason the deterrents has worked on both sides. they have spent... north korea spends a lot of time convincing the south koreans and the americans that they will fight back if they're attacked, and so essentially that's a... we tend to believe that. >> yang: is there greater anxiety among south koreans about what north korea will do or about what the united states will do? >> i mean, i think that's one reason president trump is making this visit. the defense secretary has been out, secretary of state has been out to the region many times, but what they need to see is a u.s. president who will come out, who can actually talk to the leaders and reassure and explain what the united states is going to do. so i think in some ways there is more focus on what the americans are going to do, because that's the new player in town. >> yang: david kang of th

he will be addressing the south korean legislature, the national assembly. it's really an opportunity to explain and clarify the administration's approach towards north korea. i think general mcmaster is right. north korean actions and statements have been very inflammatory and problematic. the president is in a difficult position when it comes to north korea. this is not a crisis of his making. this has been a building crisis for decades. especially for president trump, it is coming due during his administration. north koreans are closer to developing a nuclear capable icbm. it has been the policy of several administrations the u.s. without accepting north korea capable of striking the united states with nuclear weapons. ont i disagree with mcmaster is that the president's administration has been clear in its approach to north korea. if you look at statements for the president and other senior officials, there have been various endorsements of diplomacy, criticisms of diplomacy, saying the united states seeks regime change in that it does not seek regime ch

so certainly this isn't something that is being pushed from the south korean side. re was some that believe it's not necessarily in south korea's interest, but they are hoping that it will remain largely in tact. there could be some improvements made. but certainly not something from the south korean side. it was interesting that we heard from president trump several minutes ago at the beginning of the bilateral meeting with president moon, cameras arrived and just the first remarks. he made once again that direct link between trade and security, as he did in japan. he was saying that it's very important and that he was very pleased that president moon was ordering more u.s. military equipment. also saying that he had just been to the u.s. base camp humphreys, which he said i understand your country has paid the vast majority of the money towards for your own safety and security. now, this is the massive u.s. military base that the base here in seoul is being closed down, and effectively moved to that area further south in the country. so really, this idea that south

speech chunk of that dedicated to detailing the history of the south korean-american alliance. i suppose lawmakers would be relieved to come away with that message and the alliance remains ever strong. the u.s. remains committed to that security alliance to the region and to south korea. let's get more reaction to the president's speech. first, let's get over to our chief asia correspondent who is in seoul and has been listening in. some reaction so far to th that address to the national assembly. we discussed earlier was whether donald trump would go off script. from his cadence and delivery, i suspect he stuck to his grip. it was a speech full of one-liners and messages that perhaps the south koreans were of mixedo hear instead messages. the corery emphatic on relationship, the ironclad nationsship of the two have. some of the things that were interesting, he said in a direct message to the regime in north korea, without necessarily naming kim jong-un, he said weapons are not making you safer. they are putting you back in grave danger. and then donald trump said he to a better

president donald trump addressing the south korean national assembly live in the south korean capital seoul it was a lengthy address to m.p.'s in the whole not surprisingly focusing on north korea he ended the speech by giving a warning to the north korean leader saying the nuclear weapons that he was acquiring were not working to make him safe but it's putting him in more danger so a stark warning there from president trump he also criticized north korea's human rights record and yet praised south korea's economic achievements and wrapping up his visit to south korea with that address the emphasize the role of the u.s. military in the region as a means of ensuring peace and stability to live pictures there coming from the south korean national assembly that the president and the first lady leave.

now, some 30,000 north korean defectors have come to south korea. in china, however, tens of thousands of north korean defectors are leaving without andrs, under the shadows, are being physically or sexually exploited. while the u.s. should continue urging china or russia to support more economic sanctions, they should also do more to stop from sending defectors back to north korea. abolishd was united to the south african apartheid. now it is time for the world to stop the widespread and systematic human rights violations in north korea, which are tantamount to the crimes committed by the nazis. mr. chairman, this concludes my opening statement. thank you again for this opportunity. i look forward to your questions. chairman royce: thank you very much, mr. thae. you made clear in your remarks that as more and more people gradually become informed about the reality of their living conditions, and what they are told is a paradise, but they find out how people are living in south korea or the rest of that the north korean government will either have to

i think one of the objectives that both the americans and the south koreans had was to show they were consultanting, talking together in the press conference they both committed to more consultations. he said during the campaign that north korea -- south korea and japan should both consider getting their own nuclear weapons and questioned whether or not the united states should really be out in these countries at all. his tone as moved and changed and shifted quite a bit. that aside, and even though donald trump, i think, was quite gracious toward the moons and in accepting -- saying nice things about the welcome ceremony and being there, he said a very interesting comment that i think was subtle that's going to make some of the south koreans a bit worried. and with the comments about camp humphries which was just built there, and saying that humphries, if he had been doing it, he would have done it cheaper. he said it was there to defend south korea, not the united states. i think that is at least the source of a lot of south korean insecurity about the nature of the relationship. is

korea i also want to congratulate president moon and the south korean people on hosting the winter olympics this upcoming february it will be a truly spectacular event. mr president i want to thank you first lady can. and i mean it was just so special today the ceremony was so beautiful we very much thank you for it together our two nations will handle threats to peace and security stand up to those who would threaten our freedom and boldly seize the incredible opportunities for a better brighter and more prosperous tomorrow in good times and bad in moments of great hardship and great success our two nations can always count on the close bonds and deep friendship we share as free.

there has been a lot of disagreement behind the scenes between president trump and south korean president moon, who initially sought to engage north korea and seems to prefer a much more engagement oriented approach to north korea. different than president trump's hard-line approach. endorsed then has strategy that president trump has been pushing. there is a lot of disagreement in korea. then in beijing, who is seeking to restrain american action and is concerned about the use of american military force. there is a lot of concern and pitfalls for president he talks about north korea. host: we are talking with abraham denmark, the director at the wilson center. we are discussing the president's trip to asia, which he left the day before yesterday. you mentioned it today in the new york times. it talks a little bit more about that. he won the presidency promising a shift towards dialogue with north korea. he argued that sanctions and pressure would never persuade north korea. he pledged to say no to the americans if necessary six months after south korea's president returned to the nations

north korean defectors to south korea. the chinese government to establish a kind of north korean defectors for temporary state and continuation of their journey to north, south korea. that is the thing we should do. china is a member of refugee convention. that is -- to observe the international obligation by letting north korean defectors go to china. the second thing, the personal counts of the culture in north korea, in north korea, you reach the age of 4 or 5 from the age of kindergarten you are brainwashed. every morning for young children, they are forced to bow in front of portraits of kim jong-il, they are offered a cup of milk, they should stand up and express their thanks before drinking the milk of kim jong un. the apples will be distributed to the population as a gift, those established a full-scale of brainwashing system, depicting kim jong un as a god. to education -- kim jong un is not a god. he is just a normal human being. kim's family is not the family of god. we should touch the kim jong-il regime. that

you mentioned the south korean president. in today's paper -- the new york times, it talks a bit about that. it says he won the presidency promising a shift towards dialogue with north korea. he argues sanctions and pressure alone would never persuade north korea. he pledged to say no to the americans if necessary. six months after south korea's president returned to the nations -- returned the nations liberals to power, his plans to ease tensions on the peninsula have gone nowhere. president trump is doubled down -- has doubled down on sanctions in the standoff with the north. he dismissed talk to the waste of time and stepped up military drills that rattled the region with threats. talk more about the role of south korea. how do you expect that the play out over this trip? guest: south korea is a very important ally. it hosts 28,500 american service people. it is a treaty ally of the united states. president moon -- i thought it was a good article. he came to power just a few months ago seeking more engagement with north ko

south korea by god information. of course there are general policies of equal treatment for north korean sectors in south korea but as for highly effective i think we should make taylor made a law so if we make the exit of north korean entities for defection i think we should upgrade the policies of north korea's group because country like north korea can be easily coalesced if the group of elites believed that system. >> thank you. you also talked about i like the eu described the thumb drives so that young people can hide but that's just a mechanism to get more information into the mass population of north korea. could you expand a bit about some of the most important messages we need to communicate to the people of north korea to try to unravel the brainwashing that is coming from the camera shame and expose north koreans the reality within their country but also the reality of south korea and the rest of the world. >> theli inc. they can make tailor-made content comparing the relative north koreans have korea because north and south share the same language, the same culture and also we have a separate families. t

we are still waiting for president trump in the south korean capital.indian capital is currently experiencing a particulary bad blanket of thick, grey smog. the intense smog is being blamed, in part, on the burning of stubble by farmers across the north of india, as well as, emissions from coal—fired power plants. a public health emergency has been declared, amid the dangerously high levels of pollution. sanjoy majumder has sent this. all of delhi is currently covered by a thick blanket of smog. as you can see, visibility is so poor, you can barely see the government buildings right behind me. and, if it looks bad, let me tell you it feels much worse. when you breathe in, there is a burning sensation in your throat. your chest starts constricting. and that is the reason the indian medical association is asking for schools to be shut down. even delhi's annual half—marathon, due to take place later this month, had to be called off because of the danger this poses to the runners. now, what you can't see with your naked eye are fine pollutants, known as pm2

korean peninsula. i think the armistice originally said there were no nuclear weapons on the peninsula. when i was in south korea the snuckans stuck them on -- them on. the north koreans may see things in a different light. i'm looking forward to hear in the comment of the expert here. guest: you bring up two very important issues. the role of china on the korean peninsula is absolutely critical. china represents 90% of north korean trade. acted as a defense attorney for north korea. watering down international sanctions and making sure whatever sanctions are placed through the un security council, there is enough loopholes and openings so as to not cause too much economic pain and north korea and potentially triggering a collapse of the regime, which is one of the things china is concerned about. i expect this will be the top of president trump's agenda when he meets with chinese president xi jinping. recently china has been doing more to book our pressure on north korea. they have been enforcing andtions more aggressively allowing stronger sanctions to go through in the un security council. there is more

regardless of what happens. >> the memory of the bitter war between north and south defined the koreaninsula in a profound way. no one here disputes the fact it was u.s. troops that saved south korea from falling into communist hands. for generations, gratitude for that and for the protection that u.s. troops still stationed here 64 years after the end of the fighting define this country, not anymore. by night fall the number of anti-trump protesters swell. they watched the president's speech on their phones. this is, after all, south korea. everything here is streamed live. >> usa. >> on the pro-american side of the street, the feeling was that if anything, the president should have gone further. >> strongly demand, request mr. donald trump, please, strike north korea right now. he is thinking about our casualty. but i want to say to him, don't worry. please, don't worry koreans. we are ready to sacrifice our lives. >> he was a lieutenant colonel in the south korean army. his stance is stoic and simple. better dead than red. you are willing to accept the huge cost that a war would cos

towards the south korean side. times. as you will see in the next video, he collapses in those leaves, badly injured. this has all happened in the demilitarised zone between the north and the south of the korean peninsula. in an area called the joint security area. that is significant because it is the only place where soldiers face each other and, crucially, there are no obstacles like barriers or bollards. here's a closer look at what happens, you see how close the sides. one marks where the car crash, two marks where the men were running from as they pursued the vehicle. five here, that is why the north korean soldiers ran in order to try to shoot him, close to their is when the man collapsed. that is why this happens, i wanted to show you this in more detail. if we play the video on, these are the north koreans running after the defector, who was already out of shot. watch this man and this post, he is running out of north korean territory, he gets to this point where he is past the mast, this is the realisatio

president trump has left japan and is now en route to the south korean capital, the second leg of hisut a way to deal with the nuclear threat from north korea. now it's time for a look back at the day in parliament.

north koreans are watching this closely, south koreans are watching it closely, chinese. so if he's going to take this opportunity during his visit to south korea to bring it down a notch, that's good. >> no more little rocket man, any of that kind of language. >> for the next couple days. that being said changing the rhetoric doesn't change the policy. what we have now is a policy that has no chance of solving the problem. the president said weir not going to negotiate. he's threatening to attack all the time. there's no chance north korea is going to do what he wants, give up their nuclear weapons because he says so. we're basically at a stalemate, the south koreans are worried about that, the region is worried about that. fine he's not ramping up the tension this moment. that doesn't get us to where we need to be, which is walking to the north koreans. >> where has that rhetoric -- the president said in japan the weak rhetoric for 25 years didn't work, his strong rhetoric is. is that the reality? >> no. >> where are we? >> weak rhetoric, strong rhetoric, neither of tho

and south korean troops ahead of a meeting with his south korean counter part we are looking at livey taking place outside the blue house where president trump's motorcade is slowly making its way to the blue house situated behind us. that is where, of course, president trump will be meeting with president moon jae-in, where north korea is definitely at the top of the agenda. president moon since he's been in office the past six months has wanted dialogue with north korea, something that has frustrated donald trump. so it will be interesting to see how they can mend a strained relationship, moon and trump perhaps don't see eye-to-eye but certainly this alliance is some 67 years old. and as we have heard earlier, the alliance is bigger than any individual. now where we are located here on the streets of seoul, you can see thousands of police, and they have been here manning what have been peaceful protests. we know demonstrators were demonstrating outside where president trump met with u.s. troops, the largest u.s. base here in south korea. his harsh rhetoric on the north has raised a
